(Clarion Project) A Saudi news outlet writes a hit piece on the two new Muslim women elected to the U.S. Congress?

Truth is often stranger than fiction, and yes, this really just happened. Al Arabiya, a pro-government, Saudi-owned pan-Arab news outlet, just lambasted Somali American Ilhan Omar (D-MN) and Palestinian American Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for their ties with Linda Sarsour, U.S. Muslim Brotherhood-linked groups and a plethora of other individuals who share the Brotherhood’s Islamist political project.

Al Arabiya makes its case by showing how the Democratic party’s quest to wrest control of Congress “led to an alliance with political Islamist movements … pushing Muslim candidates and women activists of immigrant minorities onto the electoral scene.”
